<br />Centennial Lakes Little League purchased a drag for the city's use for the Elementary <br />and LaMotte :fields. Further, I was told by Pat Mahr of the Little League Assoc. that <br />the fields are not dragged if there is standing water on the fields. The sweeper <br />attachment would appear to be low-cost alternative and contribution by the City. <br />.. Little things such as adding chalk base lines and batter's box adds to the attributes <br />associated with the game. <br />.. Offering the use of the lights on field # 1 in order for games to be played at night if <br />needed. <br />. Constructing at least one field with an actual pitcher's mound (perhaps field # 1) to <br />allow for older kids to play baseball here. <br />.. The addition of low-cost scoreboards for Little League games to help spectators keep <br />track of the score and innings played. <br />. A concession stand would be attractive addition to promote more of a baseball <br />atmosphere at the park. Also, it may generate revenues that could be put back into <br />the park. <br /> <br />You may argue that these costs are not justifiable because CenterviHe doesn't have its <br />own recreation department. Isn't it about time that we take some initiative and partner <br />with the Centennial community in making the community a better place? We have taken <br />the back-pocket approach by feeding off programs established by surrounding cities. I <br />would like to see my tax dollars used to improve the overall quality ofthe park system in <br />this community. <br /> <br />For anyone that has played or enjoys the game of baseball, the little things do add up to <br />make a lasting impression. Our children are young for only a short time and as they <br />become adults, they will remember some little things that stood out in their childhood. It <br />is our hope that the little things 'lvill be reasons eno.ugh for them to take pride in their city <br />and perhaps make Centerville their lifelong home. <br /> <br />I appreciate your time and efforts in making this city a better place for all. Thank you for <br />your consideration. <br /> <br />"r;>r.7 i, ,:::, <br />("'-r-_' -.~ '" <br />_),:1(_r\.~~ -0 <br /> <br /> <br />Robert Irlbeck <br />7268 Centerville Road <br />Centerville, JvIN 55038 <br />Phone: 651/653-3692 <br />
